THE WAY TO YOSESllTE 

Is via Raymond and Wawona 



Reached from the main line of the 

SOUTHERN PACIFIC 

By the 

ONLY OILED MOUNTAIN 
STAGE ROAD IN AMERICA 

This, the deservedly favorite route to the great 
Yosemite Valley, takes the passenger from San Fran- 
cisco, from Los Angeles, or from Portland by the fine 
rail service of the Southern Pacific to Raymond, thus 
shortening the length of the stage ride. From Raymond 
to the Yosemite the sixty-five mile drive through Cali- 
fornia's most beautiful mountain scenery is made in 
the excellent coaches of the Yosemite Stage and Turn- 
pike Company. This is the most extensive stage system 
in the West, and is celebrated for its superior facilities 
and splendid management. 

Thirty miles of this road have already been oiled, 
thus forming the most perfect stage road ever built. 

A^isitors arrive at Raymond in a sleeping car early in 
the morning, and leave about 7 o'clock on the stage, 
taking lunch at Ahwahnee, a fine half-way house situated 
in one of the prettiest of mountain meadows. Wawona, 
one of the largest and best known mountain resorts in 
the West, also under the stage company's management, 
is reached about 5 p. m., and a halt is called for the 
night. The journey is continued the following morning, 
and Yosemite reached at noon. 

A special limited stage leaves Raymond at 6:30 a. m., 
arrives Yosemite 6 130 p. m. 

Wawona 

(Indian word for big tree) is the elegant hostelry and 
resort where all visitors to and from Yosemite by this 
noted route spend at least one night each way. Situated 
in the very heart of the Sierras, and completely sur- 
rounded by rugged mountains and majestic forests, 
affording attractions and entertainment equal to 
Yosemite itself, it is widely voted one of the most popu- 
lar mountain resorts in the West. Hundreds of visitors 
are so charmed with Wawona that they prolong their 
stay there weeks, and even months, and return season 
after season. Near-by attractions are numerous and of 
exceptional interest. We have attempted here no de- 
tailed descriptions, but the far-famed Mariposa Big Tree 
Grove, situated eight miles distant, is one of the objects 
of your trip and deserves special mention. 



THE MARIPOSA GROVE 

The Mariposa Big Tree Grove is reached only by the 
Wawona route, a part of the Yosemite trip. It is 
situated about four miles off the main route, to the 
right, and eight miles from Wawona, by road, in a 
southeasterly direction. Its area is two miles square, 
on a gently sloping mountain side, and its peculiar 
topography divides it into what is commonly known as 
the lower and upper grove. 

This grove contains over 600 large Sequoias, some 
of which are 325 feet high and 30 to 35 feet in diameter. 
Two have been tunneled for the passage of the stage 
road. 

If time will permit, a whole day should be spent in 
the presence of these great trees, remaining two nights 
at Wawona instead of one. Otherwise it is customary 
to wait till the return trip, leaving Wawona two or three 
hours earlier, and including the grove, en route to 
Raymond. 

HOTELS AND CAMPS 

The accommodations in the Valley are ample and all 
that can be desired. The Sentinel Hotel, with its main 
building, annex and cottages, affords excellent enter- 
tainment, ranging from $3.00 to $4.00 per day. The 
camp auxiliary gives almost as good accommodations for 
$2.00 per day. Camp Curry provides abundant comforts 
for $2.00 per day. 

The tents of the camps vary in size to accommodate 
one or more persons, and are floored and fitted with 
carpets, spring and wool mattresses and plenty of 
bedding. 

Trained saddle horses may be hired for $2.50 to 
$4.00, according to trip ; guide, $3.00 per day. These 
rates are fixed by the State, and visitors need not fear 
imposition. 

Equipment 

Take as little baggage as you can conveniently get 
along with. The railroads transport 150 lbs. and the 
stage-coach 50 lbs. on each full ticket, but everything 
in excess of actual needs should be avoided as likely 
to be troublesome. Wraps will be useful, as the morn- 
ing and evening air is apt to be cool. A duster and 
a soft hat are always convenient for staging. Heavy- 
soled, comfortable shoes, hobnailed, are the best for 
mountain wear ; and rubber overshoes may be useful 
before July 1st. Your own toilet articles are always 
desirable. Laundry work is well and quickly done.
